BMW i8 From Production To Delivery – Video

Now that deliveries of the BMW i8 are taking place in several countries around the globe (including in the U.S.), BMW is proud to present a quick video on the i8 from start of producit0on to delivery of the finished plug-in hybrid.

“The BMW i8 from production to delivery.”

It’s clear to us that BMW is focusing rather intensely on the U.S. market with the i8. Proof of this is found in our latest BMW i production update post.

BMW is currently producing ~ 100 i8s for U.S. consumption per month now, a figure that’s much higher than we anticipated given the vehicles $135,700 price tag.

I own the i3 REx, with over 3,500 miles on it. It never fails that and every time I bring the vehicle out there is somebody either looking out, making a comment or asking me about it… I’ve always had positive feedback. The i8 I imagine will draw even more attention !

It’s a sexy car – like something Batman would drive. Not sure how comfortable it would be to get in an out of (being 6’4″). I’m still not sure why they even bothered to have a battery. The BMW web site says it has 25 miles of range in EV mode… why bother? Heck, a Chevy Volt gets 40 miles of range before it switches over. I guess they are putting their toe in the pool… of course at a base price from 136K to 147K those buyers are probably not really all that interested in an EV – otherwise they’d buy a Telsa Model S Performance edition
